I have been getting botox for 20 years with excellent results. I have always gone to a skilled…read morecosmetic physician to have my botox. However, I recently moved to Boston and after reading good reviews about SkinDeep Med Spa I decided to give it a try. I went to see Michelle Cory (a nurse injector) I explained that I wanted to reduce forehead wrinkles and crows feet but wanted to look natural. While getting my injection, I noticed that Michelle was not as careful as my previous providers while injecting. She also gave me more units of botox than I usually get. Several days later I noticed my left eye had started to droop. Droopy eyelids (called ptosis) are a known but rare complication of botox. It can happen if the toxin (botox) inadvertently spreads to the muscles that are responsible for lifting the eyebrow or the eyelid. This subsequently weakens or paralyzes the lid and gives the droopy eye. This (droopy eye) occurs if the injection is too deep, too close to the muscles, or the dose is too high, all of which are due to clinician error. This complication will likely last eight weeks. It appears Michelle injected the botox too close to my eyebrows and also likely gave me too much botox both of which led to my droopy eye. I went back to see Michelle with my complication and she admitted that this had happened before to her clients. She prescribed some drops which unfortunately, are not very effective. Other than that, she was no help managing the complication she caused to my eye and has not checked in with me since the incident occurred to see how I was doing. I am now out $600 for this procedure, and look quite disfigured. I read online that it is very important to choose a medically qualified, skilled and experienced injector who understands the risks of the botox procedure and will approach new patients with caution to decrease risk. Michelle (at SkinDeep Med Spa on Newbury Street) was not careful and likely lacked the clinical experience/training to avoid my complication. As I said, I have had botox for 20 years without complications. I will be reporting this complication to the FDA but wanted to share my experience so that others may avoid this issue. Think twice before booking an appointment at SKINDEEP MED SPA for botox as complications can be serious, disfiguring and even life threatening. I will be going to a board certified plastic surgeon or dermatologist for all my future botox.

I've attached photos of the results I've received at Skin Deep…read more First is a Before and After of lip filler. This lump of product took 5-6 return visits to dissolve with hyalurondaise. It finally went away. I asked for a refund for the huge hassle. I was denied. Instead. I was offered a complimentary service. It was suggested I treat the tear trough. I agreed. Next you will see the results of that. The tear trough was injected too superficially. Rather than dissolve this mistake, the solution was to again- do more-- for free. Then, an entire syringe of product was injected to "correct" and fill in the areas around the bag under my eye. This is the result weeks after swelling. You will also see an incorrectly placed Botox injection to mentalis (the chin) my mouth was approximately 40% paralyzed for 6 weeks. I wasn't able to speak and laugh at the same time. My mouth was distorted and embarrassing. When I showed Skin Deep my result in person, the reply was "it looks fine" "I don't see anything" At that point, I refused any more "complimentary corrections" and asked for a refund. I got one for $600 My under eye is still lumpy and uneven but I am working with a new highly-skilled, caring Doctor to correct the issue. The next photo you will see is 1 of 4 attempts that have been made by my doctor to get my medical records released from Skin Deep so we can know exactly WHAT substance was injected into my eye so that we can fix this. Skin Deep flat-out refused to release them to me personally. Why? I don't know. Now my doctor is involved and they have stopped responding......

I have been to many places and spent THOUSANDS on Botox and looked the same after a short time! Dr. D took time with me and helped me to make a decision to look my best. She not only truly cares about people, she cares about making someone feel good about themselves. Many a times I've gone to see these snake oil salesman and all they wanted was money, they had no cares about my best interest nor did I get any results that made me feel good. We all know that life can be a gamble, but with Dr. D as my new found angel one who really cares about how I look and feel. I feel like with her, I have really hit the Lottery.

I have been going to Aida Medical Aesthetics for quite some time now…read more Hands down.. 10-10.. I absolutely LOVE her! She is the absolute BEST, honestly. I've been to a few different other "Medspa's" and I thought those places were pretty good too.. UNTIL I found Aida in Brookline,Massachusetts. She's extremely knowledgeable about everything and anything that has to do with the body. I personally felt very insecure about my lips and a few other little things that I thought I could "fix" about MYSELF! Those other places were very quick to agree with me, I felt also were kind of "pushing,rushing me" into scheduling another appt for whatever I wanted to get done. Let's be honest these procedures are pretty expensive even the minor ones are pretty expensive! BUT AIDA WAS NOT AT ALL ANY OF THOSE THINGS! She was 100% HONEST, THOROUGH 100% CLEAN and sterile in everything she used. I personally love that it's just her and her beautiful office! That's sooo relaxing. (basically doesn't feel like you're going in for a painful medical procedure!) But SERIOUSLY.. I recommend that you at least try it out for yourselves .. you'll be soo happy when you do!

I have been doing injections like botox and juvaderm for awhile & trying to find the best nurse for years... BINGO here she is, Elizabeth! She actually educates you on the products and talks you through it which is great because a lot of others I've been to are quick to stick needles in your face and grab your money. Elizabeth is not like that at all her goal is help her clients achieve a look that they are both comfortable and pleased with. I love the staff here, not only are they beautiful but so professional and down to earth. Please don't waste your time searching anywhere else, this is where you should be going if you want to get the best injections. I'm loving my results and can't wait to go back.

I called as a first-time client to set up an appointment. I decided to cancel the appointment…read morebecause I had other priorities. I made them aware 48 hours before cancelation (per their rules). They initially denied me, saying it should be within 48 hours. I do not understand the disconnect between why the person I was talking to (Andrea) had told me she received my email and was "planning on calling me back." and why I still had to argue about why I should receive my deposit of $250 back. I talked to the manager, who also made it hard for me initially (giving me the same spiel about 48 hours, when I did?!!) but eventually gave me my money back. This tells me: They do not care about their policies (because I did just as they required). It was about keeping my deposit. Money. This is an awful business and doesn't deserve your hard-earned money!

I found Dr. Martin Cutler and Kate McGann at Body and Skin Center - because I had just moved into the area and hoped to find a good clinic near me. When I walked in the first time- they made me feel welcome and comfortable. I knew immediately that I was understood and they both helped to guide me through all of the many different options- and without any pressure. I took the leap and I am thrilled with the effects. I had botox on my Frown lines, forehead lines and crows feet- and I also had some fillers in/on a few small areas - I look refreshed and natural! Just what I dared to hope for! Thank you Dr. Cutler and Kate! I am looking forward to visiting again - I strongly recommend Body and Skin Center. You will be happy if you go!
